Backup Master: Western Digital Media Center

How Much Does "Mobility" Weigh?

The Media Center can become quite a heavy load to schlep around in your laptop case. Even when it's "naked" it weighs 1.45 kilograms - add a power supply and cable and it weighs in at 1.96 kilograms. These weight values do not take into account FireWire and USB cables.
